What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A picture taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Govanhill
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. Typical jobs include a coloured bath you want in white and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, across Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Store bottles off the bath
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
How the visit works
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know about parking or access

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
